    It's the End of the World As We Know It: Apocalyptic Campaign Settings

    Well yeah, here in the real world. But in a fantasy world, the cataclysmic end could be very different. Modeling real-world archaeology in D&D would essentially be a Downtime activity for most characters. I suppose you could have them make a lot of Investigation checks on a grid to find...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Another gem: In the restroom across the hall from the Hydraulics Lab (also on PSU campus), someone had written, WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING and someone else had revised it in red marker: WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING ASSUME STEADY STATE.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The older I get, the less I care about Right vs. Wrong, and the more I care about Love vs. Hate. Like, being correct about something is important, but so is being kind when you correct others. Nobody likes a hateful little $%&@.

    D&D 5E (2014) "You Can Do 3 Things" - My Nephew's D&D Houserule

    I'm not sure I agree. 5E D&D is more than just its action economy. Okay this I agree with. They haven't really gone down that road yet but who knows? They're kids; they have really strong "nah that's boring, let's do this instead" energy when they play games, so with enough time and...
